About SweetScents Lavender

Meet Cynthia Dekroon

Thank you for stopping by!

My name is Cynthia Dekroon, and I am the proud owner and operator of SweetScents Lavender. I was first drawn to the versatility of Lavender in my own flower gardens, and this curiosity fuelled my personal research into this lovely plant. I soon realized how difficult it was to source locally grown Ontario Lavender, and this first sparked interest in creating my own lavender farm. My husband John and I have been livestock and cash crop farming for over 35 years. After raising our family of seven, I felt I finally had the time to expand my love of gardening and so… Sweet Scents Lavender was created! I am pleased to offer you naturally grown, chemical-free, pesticide-free Ontario Lavender, from my garden to yours.

Please, take a look around! I am thrilled to be sharing my dream with you.

Yours in bloom,

Plant Care

Growing lavender is uncomplicated and, with some basic care, will yield beautiful and fragrant results.

Sun Exposure

Lavender grows best in full sun. Ideally, plants should receive a minimum of six (6) hours of direct sunlight per day. Stems may get leggy with few blooms if it doesn't get adequate sunlight.

Proper Drainage

Lavender requires good drainage. Soil should tend toward sandy but it will also grow in a clay-based soil. A minimum pH level of 6.0 is required, but a more alkaline 7.0 to 8.0 delivers optimal results.
